Following key policy wins in Austin this year, Texas is emerging as a model for the nation on housing affordability. The next frontier is reforming our punishing property tax system. All across the state, hardworking families are seeing their tax bills climb, even as wages struggle to keep pace. If we want Texas to remain the national model for prosperity, we need to ensure that growth doesn’t come at the expense of affordability.
Texas is booming. Under Governor Greg Abbott’s leadership, families and businesses continue to leave high-tax, overregulated states like California and New York to plant roots in the Lone Star State. They come for opportunity, freedom, and the promise of a better future.
In fact, by some estimates, nearly 1,000 people are moving to Texas every single day. Many are fleeing these coastal states not just because of taxes and red tape, but because the cost of living, particularly housing, has become unsustainable. Texas has become a magnet for working families who want to stretch their paychecks further and own a piece of the American Dream. But that dream only remains within reach if housing supply keeps up with demand.
